Description

The AndroidManifest.xml generator doesn't use the version from tiapp.xml for the string version. There currently doesn't exist a way to specify the integer version required by Android for the market in tiapp.xml.

The workaround is to use a custom android manifest for now.

i'm moving this to 1.5 so we can close this out but i think this is fixed?

We don't currently have a way for the developer to provide increment or set the versionCode. versionName should be what ever string they enter. Currently the only way to handle this is with a custom manifest file. Since we don't have project level settings yet.

android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1"

#1594 accomplishes this for Titanium 1.5. Attributes put on the <android>&ltmanifest> element in tiapp.xml are carried over to the AndroidManifest.xml. So you could have, for example, the following in tiapp.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <ti:app xmlns:ti="http://ti.appcelerator.org">
   
   ...
   <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <manifest android:versionCode="5" android:versionName="5">
   <supports-screens 
     android:smallScreens="false"
     android:normalScreens="true"
     android:largeScreens="true"
     android:anyDensity="false"
   />
   <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
   </manifest>
   </android>
   ...
   </ti:app>

Those android:versionXXX attributes will then find they're way on to the <manifest> in AndroidManifest.xml. (In this example, supports-screens and uses-sdk will also get set.)
